Getting Ready

Judges Comments

Liquid courage? Male bonding? Either way, it makes for a classic photograph.
Sheer fun. Love the expression of the man in the middle. Sense of camaraderie and celebration. Three sets of suspenders enhance the graphic composition.

Great little moment of the preparations that no one ever thinks about. I bet the bride loved this photo!
Nice moment detailing the little things that happen behind the scenes that make the big things work. Good job getting inside the story.

A sense of mystery is created by the hands and the veil as the bride gets ready.
Nice job of editing to find this moment in the take. Lovely detail of the pre-ceremony preparations.
The juxtaposition of the hands makes this an intriguing moment. Cropping a little tighter on the left and right will add to its graphic appeal.
